Alive! (Grant Green album)
Alive! is an album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green featuring a performance recorded at the Cliche Lounge in Newark, New Jersey in 1970 and released on the Blue Note label. The album was Green's first official live recording. The CD reissue added three bonus tracks.
Reception
The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 4 stars and stated "Alive! is the hardest funk LP Grant Green recorded during the later phase of his career... this is the most convincing and consistent Green had been as a funkster and, while nearly all of his albums from the early '70s feature at least some worthwhile material for acid jazz and beat-sampling junkies, Alive! is probably the best place to start".

History
Kowalczyk entered the studio in early 2010 to record material that he began writing in 2008. He wrote songs for Alive with an acoustic guitar, as he had when he wrote for Live.
The lyrics on Alive feature much religious and spiritual imagery. Kowalczyk's acknowledgement of his faith is much more explicit on this album than it was on his work with Live. The album entered Billboard's Christian albums chart at number six.
The album entered the charts in the Netherlands, debuting at number four on the Dutch albums chart. It has also charted in the United States, Belgium, and Australia.

Savant
by: Iluvatarthey promised her a pocketful of fairy tales
an ordinary future through a rain of endless dust
his first felt moments melt themselves into dreams
locked away forever, let the sandman set them free
could he walk as tall as other men?
his tired mind had fallen to a place held in the past
numbers were like bread to him , a walk in the park on sunday
a genius in agency
walked the long, thin line between hero and fallacy
taking his words so free
all the while, he's carrying a light along the way
to brighten all around him, though darkness veils the day
unbeknownst to him he's crawling through the haze
forty years had come and gone away
temporarily clutching to the colors of blue and gray
keeping records of all he's said and done
an idiot savant in everyone else's eyes
would you ever pray for me? or carry my bags for me?
i've always been there for you.
i've walked the thin line between hero and fallacy
you've been taking my words so free. would i call for them?
to follow my road, you'd last not long my friend
could i be wrong?
i'll have the last laugh on you today.
i'll walk on your heels as you're walking away
a long time ago i wouldn't have traveled so far
keep your eyes on the past and watch me walk through that door
too young to feel , too blind to look the other way
while i had gently fallen, i also thrust myself free
yes, i set myself free. if i could be anywhere, i would be everywhere
